PTI’s ‘obnoxious’ supporter bullies Reham Khan

by News Desk , (Last Updated August 7, 2018)

A video of a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporter interrupting interview of Reham Khan, ex-wife of prime minister-in-waiting Imran Khan, is doing rounds on social media, wherein the PTI supporter could be seen bullying Reham.

The video starts with the PTI female supporter asking Reham if she will join Ayesha Gulalai’s party but before Reham could finish answering the question, the supporter lambastes her with more questions, asking if she is jealous of Bushra Bibi.

“You have the same mentality as Gulalai,” the female supporter continues her tirade against Reham.

The female supporter also criticises Reham Khan’s son, Sahir Khan, for apparently looking at the woman as if he is “planning to murder her”. To which, Reham replies that you are being rude to her mother that’s why he is looking at you like that.

Reham could be seen trying to calm down the woman throughout the video.

Harassment of Reham Khan has drawn an ire of social media users and many have lauded Khan for being “patient” and “tolerating troll harassment”.

Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari took to Twitter and said: “All the video did was made me a fan of @RehamKhan1 for being so patient & tolerating troll harassment – the PTI supporter should spend less time harassing another woman & stop leader worshipping someone who has been aggressively against women rights & pro Taliban justice.”

Another Twitter user wrote: “Agree. Much as I dislike Reham Khan and all that she stands for, I think she has a right to leave her house and not be abused. We can confront her on many forums but not on the streets.”

Another urged Reham to press charges against the woman over harassment, “the woman harassing @RehamKhan1 is an embarrassment to women. Exactly the kind of PTI cult followers who will tweet to Jemima all day to come to PK, and tell Reham her chapter is closed. The UK has harassment laws, I sincerely hope she is refrained from ever doing this again.”
